Healing Sounds Circle
We love experimenting with sound and spending time exploring the effects of sound which can be so healing and therapeutic and that's why we formed an informal monthly circle to try out new ideas and work collectively as a group because the sounds that a group of people can make when meeting together take on a different dynamic energy that can help us realise the healing power that we hold within ourself.
Numbers will be limited due to space but we hope that we can explore the energies of chant and sound baths during our two hour sessions which will be beneficial to everyone who comes.
Each session has a suggested donation of £3.
We hope to see you soon!

Shamanic Rituals
Would you like to have your own personalised shamanic ceremony or ritual to celebrate your important event in a way that truly reflects your love of Nature and the Universal Energy that surrounds you? We will help you design a ceremony that will honour the universal aspects of male and female energy that exist within us all.
Searching for a way to celebrate a birthday, or a wedding, or marking the crossing of a significant threshold in life (even preparing to let go of life itself) can prove to be a difficult task especially if you have your own views on how you would like it to take place. We can be relied on to produce a poignantbtiu ritual which will take into account your personal wishes for a spiritual ceremony that wilbe a eght to alll those attending.
With a wealth of experience in public performance and a sensitivity to personal energies, your individual requirements will be the basis to create a beautiful ritual / ceremony which will exactly suit your needs - whatever the occasion.
After our initial consultation we can begin by arranging a schedule to fit around your dates, times and places that you have chosen. We will then together formulate and agree a finalised structure for our big day.
We will arrive on site with everything required for the event and carry out your wishes exactly as we discussed.
Please contact us as soon as possible to ensure we are available for your event at your earliest convenience.
We look forward to creating something beautiful with you soon.
Tarot & Crystal Readings
Giovanna's highly attuned intuition has been the source of amazing revelations for so many people on so many occasions that she has decided to offer her skills to clients as an extra service.
Using the Tarot or crystals she is able to reveal hidden blockages and opportunities that may be hindering your progress or waiting to lead your life in a whole new exciting direction.
"Clients have told me how reassured they were after a reading that affirmed that they were on the right track or helped them identify the exact cause of a problem that they could now tackle in order to move on" she said on describing recent readings she has given.
"I use the cards and also my novel The Third Vision and crystals to focus my mind on the client and through these systems I am able to build up a vivid minds-eye picture of the clients current situation and help them determine a suitable way forward. It has been so nice to have been able to help so many people navigate their way through difficult times over the years and from doing it again at recent gong baths I have reawakened the pleasure I experienced from helping people in this way and now I'm happy to be able to offer this extra service for clients."
If you would like to arrange a reading with Giovanna please give her a call at Kalmatherapies or send a contact email to start the ball rolling. It could be the choice you make to change your life.
Gong & Sound Baths
As part of our work with Shamanic Energy sound is used throughout the treatments given as it so closely acts in a pure way to harmonise with the clients own energy centres. Our Sound Baths have been featured on BBC World Service (see video below)
The simple requirement is for you to relax and allow the beautiful ancient sounds to wash over you and bathe your body in loving vibration.
Because sound is devoid of opinion or judgement we like to think of its energy like neutral waves of unconditional love being sent out to the recipient, having a really activating and positive affect on their energy chakras and taking them to a place of calm introspectiveness and deep healing.
Clients often have a profound reaction to the vibrational harmonics which conjure up deep felt emotions with its majestic primeval sound.
You can receive a full gong & sound bath without massage for up to one hour by booking one through KALMA therapies or you may want to include it in your own Shamanic Ceremony. The Gong Bath includes a relaxation element based on Nidra Yoga techniques which will guide you verbally to a place of calmness, ready to receive the gongs vibrational blessings. We are pleased to provide Gong baths for individuals or groups.
The cost of a one hour individual gong & sound bath is just sixty pounds.
RETREAT
Imagine relaxing in the beautiful Spanish countryside surrounded by orange, almond and olive trees with only the sound of the breeze and birdsong, the warm sun bringing you nourishment and vital energy as you feast each day on deliciously fresh home-grown, organic produce.
We are very pleased to announce that we are currently in the process of setting up a beautiful rural retreat in Extremadura in South Western Spain where we will be running special holistic therapeutic retreats that will include gong baths, meditation, art, yoga, chanting, dance, labyrinths, contemplative pathways, further insights into The Third Vision lifestyle and much more.
We will be posting updates here in the near future - so if you are interested in attending or running a session in Spain please email us.
Thanxxxxxx.
